SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CooTek (NYSE: CTK) ("CooTek" or the "Company"), a fast-growing global mobile internet company, today announced revised total revenue guidance for the second quarter of 2019.

CooTek currently expects second quarter total revenue to be between US$34 million and US$36 million, compared to the previously announced range of US$45 million and US$50 million.

The guidance revision is mainly due to the difficulties that the Company is experiencing in collecting its consideration from Google and therefore inability to recognize the corresponding advertising revenues for the last 2 months of the quarter as a result of Google's decision in mid-July to temporarily disable the Company's global portfolio apps. CooTek is in continuous communication with Google to clarify any potential misunderstandings and restore access to its global portfolio of apps though no specific timetable has been confirmed. However, the processes for appealing such suspensions and removals could be time-consuming, and the Company cannot guarantee that its appeals will prevail or that any such suspended or removed applications will be made available again. The current suspensions and removals of the Company's global portfolio apps could lead to the difficulty in growing or sustaining its user base even though the Company acquired an increasing significant portion of its new users through other channels starting in 2019, and could significantly adversely affect the Company reputation, business operation and financial performance.
